Away from the joyful things which the pre-christmas time might bring us,on KW1 there will be running the much-loved and extremely appreciated and multiply desired ChristmasMod. From St.Nicholas Day (6.12) on until the New Years Day (1.1). You will find handpicked & well-chosen Christmas Maps in accompany with a full atmosphere of first class christmassy sound snippets.

!lastchristmas we gave you our hearts,this year there will be a Tännchen (!attention) - !hohoho

In case some of you don´t like all this X-Mas hustle and bustle for various reasons, join like-minded people on KW2 for a collective (un-XMassy) fragging - without ChristmasMod!KW2 has the same settings and the same campaign like KW1 in this time.

The brain behind splatterladder has brought a new idea to life to contribute a very easy, very affordable possibility for everyone to host an own Enemy Territory Gameserver for a ridiculous low price of 6.40 EUR per month on a gentlemens agreement base for a 32 slot Gameserver.

I repeat that for you to assure you have read right: 32 slot ET Gameserver for 6.40 EUR per month!

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? The one or other of you might ask.

It is possible because we see this as a service for and to the community, not a way to start earning money. The calculation is quite simple:A suitable Root-Server would cost about 70 Euro / month + round about 100 Euro setup fee (Intel® Xeon® E3-1270 v3 + 32GB ECC Ram + 2TB HDD [raid1] + 20TB free traffic @ 1Gbit/s [they assure at least 200Mbit / s] , after 20TB the speed will be lowered for the remaining days of the month.) This configuration should be suitable for round about 12 - 15 gameserver with 32 slots each. Lets do an example with 12 Gameservers: 12 x 6.40 = 76.80 EUR per month. That means the setup fee will automatically be paid after 15 months of continous rental from the serverhost (6.80 x 15 = 102 EUR).

WHAT DO I GET FOR MY MONEY? This is also a good question.

We can´t deliver 24/7 support or any fast response if there occurs a problem. What we can do is offer you a pretty nice and easy to understand Gameserverpanel with ftp support to upload your files. You may ofc. use any other ftp client. Within the Game Manager you have the chance to fast start / stop / restart the server, watch a basic Game-Monitor and we guarantee daily backups of your server.

WHAT IS THIS GENTLEMENS AGREEMENT THING?

We dont want to bind you with a long term contract or a big payment in advance, so we thought the best way for anyone to try it out would be to pay on a monthly base. If too many people try the service and cancel after one month we will have to pay the due for the rented Server, so we would like to see you keep it longer than one month only To be honest, we do not believe that you will cancel it, after you have tested it.

WHAT MODS CAN I USE?

We have preinstalled the following mods as templates so all you have to do is choose a mod, upload your files, edit the server.cfg and mod.cfg and then start your server.etjump, etlegacy *, etnam *, etpro, etpub *, jaymod *, nitmod *, noquarter *, silentmod *, tjmod (* = Omni-Bot enabled)If you like to take a peak to the Game Server Panel we have installed, try: https://splatterladder.com/server with the logindetails: testuser - testuser

Time has come to announce the next step in splatterladder history: Multi-Game-Support.

splatterladder.com - your first source for playertracking and ranking is expanding with a lot of games to reach a new audience step-by-step.

As you have already seen on splatterladder.com the first new added game is "io Urban Terror". But this has only been the very beginning of what is going to happen throughout the next weeks on splatterladder.com

The first games to be added beside rtcw/et and new added ioUrban Terror will be Call of Duty 1, 2 and 4 together with Quake3 (io Quake).

Ofcourse every added game will receive the same splatterladder features that you all know and love from RtCW and Enemy Territory:

servertracking

playertracking with rating (ratingfunctions may vary to the ET implemented rating)

serverlist

buddylist

maplist

... and so on.

If you want to take the chance to participate in these new sl.games with player- or serveradminsupport feel free to get in touch with us.More new games will be announced after they are implemented in a beta state.

Now you`re able to use splatterladder generated data for ...your homepage...your very own statistic toolor whatever you want to.

This API offers you the possibility to query the data from up to 10 server listed on SL in XML or JSON format.

The answer contains almost all data visible on the server-detail site.For example current players (with ping, xp), all the server flags (punkbuster, tzac, friendly fire and so on)

Hot it works:The basepath to the API is et.splatterladder.com/api/squery.phpwhere you have to add the variables you need:format -> xml or json svid -> Splatterladder server ID svadd -> Serveradress (IP:PORT)If you want to query multiple server-ids or adresses, use the variables as array ( svadd[]=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyyy )

So if you want to get the data of the server with the id "658158" , the one behind "88.198.32.79:27960" and "88.198.32.79:31111" on JSON format,simply create the URI by concating the variables:et.splatterladder.com/api/squery.php?format=json&svid[]=658158&svadd[]=88.198.32.79:27960&svadd[]=88.198.32.79:31111

You will receive the full JSON object, with a section of , IMO, useful hints.
